6-7 OPTIONS buttons
Press this button to select the following options:
PREWASH: select this option if you wish your
laundry to be prewashed before the main wash
(not available for WOOL and HAND WASH
programme).
The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in
programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the
water is only drained.
The Prewash, the Soak and the Quick Wash
functions cannot be selected together.
SOAK: select this option if you wish to perform a
soak of about 30 minutes at 30°C to your laundry.
By pressing the DELAY START button the soak
time can be prolonged up to 24 hours max. After
this time the wash cycle will automatically start.
This function is not available for wool and hand-
wash cycle.
The soak ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in
programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the
water is only drained.
QUICK WASH; select this function for laundry that
is only slightly soiled (not for WOOL and HAND
WASH programme).
The washing time will be reduced according to the
type of fabric and the selected temperature.
SUPER RINSE: can be used with all programmes
except the WOOL and HAND WASH
programme. The machine performs 4 rinses
instead of 3.
This option is recommended for people who are
allergic to detergents and in areas where the water
is very soft.
ECO: this option is available only with cotton
programme at 95°-60°-40° C and synthetics
programme at 60°-40° C.
If you select this option the temperature
automatically decreases and, consequently, the
washing time increases.
This function can be used with normally soiled
laundry in order to save energy.
The Super Rinse and the Eco options can be
selected together by means of the relevant button.
